If installation fails, reinstall the software. If this fails, check the installation notes and Readme
files on the printer CD-ROM or the flyer that came in the printer box, or go to www.hp.com/
support/clj5500 or www.hp.com/support/clj5550 for help or more information.
Installing Windows printing system software for networks
The software on the printer CD-ROM supports network installation with a Microsoft network.
For network installation on other operating systems, go to www.hp.com/support/clj5500 or
www.hp.com/support/clj5550.
The HP Jetdirect print server that is included with the HP LaserJet 5550n, HP LaserJet
5550dn, or HP LaserJet 5550dtn printer has a 10/100 Base-Tx network port. If you need an
HP Jetdirect print server with another type of network port, go to www.hp.com/support/
clj5500 or www.hp.com/support/clj5550.
The installer does not support printer installation or printer object creation on Novell servers.
It supports only direct-mode network installations between Windows computers and a
printer. To install your printer and create objects on a Novell server, use an HP utility (such
as HP Web Jetadmin or HP Install Network Printer Wizard) or a Novell utility (such as
NWadmin).
To install the printing system software
1. If you are installing the software on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP,
make sure that you have administrator privileges.
2. Make sure that the HP Jetdirect print server is configured correctly for the network by
printing a configuration page. On the second page, locate the printer IP address. You
might need this address to complete network installation.
3. Close all software programs that are open or running.
4. Insert the printer CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
If the welcome screen does not open, start it by using the following procedure:
● On the Start menu, click Run.
● Type the following: x:\setup (where x is the letter of the CD-ROM drive).
● Click OK.
5. When prompted, click Install Printer and follow the instructions on the computer screen.
6. Click Finish when the installation has been completed.
7. You might need to restart the computer.
8. Print a Test Page or a page from any software program to make sure that the software is
correctly installed.
Note
If installation fails, reinstall the software. If this fails, check the installation notes and Readme
files on the printer CD-ROM or the flyer that came in the printer box, or go to www.hp.com/
support/clj5500 or www.hp.com/support/clj5550 for help or more information.
To set up Windows-sharing to use the printer on a network
If the printer is directly connected to a computer with a parallel cable, you can share the
printer on the network so that other network users can print to it.
See your Windows documentation to make Windows-sharing available. After the printer is
shared, install the printer software on all computers that share the printer.
